Today a team of cyclists from British Gypsum are riding 100 miles – from Barrow Upon Soar to Skegness – to raise money to support prostate cancer care at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. It’s fair to say that these folks are incredibly dedicated – this will be their 11th annual charity cycle and they've raised over £120,000 for Nottingham Hospitals over the years (this photo is of last year’s brilliant team). This year they're fundraising for the Major Trauma Unit. Good luck to all of the cyclists, and huge thanks to their sponsors and British Gypsum for supporting this amazing team year after year!

Well done to our amazing team of Cycle Live Nottingham fundraisers who are cycling in support of Nottingham Hospital this Sunday! Almost 100 riders are taking part to raise money for our patients, and they've collectively raised almost £13,000 so far. THANK YOU! 🚴‍♀️ To join our team of cyclists or support them, visit: https://www.justgiving.com/campaigns/charity/nuhc/cyclelive2018

Eloise, Lucy and Deb lost their friend, Samantha, to breast cancer two years ago. Last month, they held a spectacular charity ball in Samantha's honour. Over 400 people attended the Black & Green Ball at Colwick Hall Hotel, and together they raised an absolutely INCREDIBLE sum of money: £22,306.45, which was used to purchase a state-of-the-art digital mammography machine for the Nottingham Breast Institute. Samantha, who was a mum of four children, lost her battle against cancer in December 2016. The new mammography machine at the Breast Institute is a wonderful legacy to her and her family, and will benefit thousands of women in Nottingham for many years to come.

Today we said an incredibly sad farewell to Nick, our brilliant friend and Fundraising Manager. Nick has been with the Charity for three and a half years and, over that time, has inspired countless fundraisers to do incredible things for their hospitals. But his greatness doesn't stop there: he also ran a marathon for Zephyr's Nottingham, has worn many silly outfits on request, and bakes the best ever flapjacks (trust us). We're so lucky to have worked alongside him, and we wish him heaps of luck for the future. Farewell, Nick - we'll miss you!
